And as someone said it here, I hope Nintendo learns that at this point, they mean next to nothing on the market without having 3rd parties on board, so they can't afford any more of this crap with underpowered consoles that may be ok for Nintendo but give nothing to work with to the 3rd parties. |
Its not power that moved third party away from Nintendo, its the image of Nintendo to the general public. Nintendo platforms simply do not work for the AAA warzone of huge-budgets, hype, and pre-orders for multiple reasons, the specs are the last reason. The NGC was the strongest console in its gen, didn't make much of a difference then either.
If anything, moving forward, Nintendo should embrace their new third party developers: indies and market the hits as they come as they did with Shovel Knight and others, like Shin'en games. Why bother with the unsustainable AAA format while all these studios race towards insolvency with larger and larger budgets like THQ, when you can support the plentiful indies.
